*Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir confirms the reports saying Palestinians are suffering atrocious circumstances in Israeli prisons and pushes for even harsher treatment.* . . . Following the outbreak of the war, Ben-Gvir declared success in implementing his desired sadistic changes. "The conditions for terrorists in prison were reduced to a minimum: we stopped financial deposits, canceled the canteens, removed electrical appliances from the cells, ended yard times for terrorists, drastically reduced their time in the showers, revoked the spokesperson status," and made dire restrictions to their diet, he said. . . . A UN commission examining human rights breaches in the occupied Palestinian territories accused Israeli occupation forces (IOF) Tuesday of raping, degrading, and dehumanizing Palestinian men, women, and children in their custody. The statement explained that "Multiple stakeholders reported a stark increase in sexual harassment, sexual abuse, the threat of rape, and rape itself, including with foreign objects, against men, women, and even children, as well as intimidation through the use of dogs." The Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs in the Occupied Territories declared its members were "shocked" by the degree of impunity of the IOF who committed dreadful violations of Palestinian rights. According to the committee, they are "publicly and shamelessly sharing photos on social media platforms that violate the privacy and intimate sphere of Palestinian women, aimed to mock, shame, and humiliate them." . . . -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
